Eliseo MATTIACCI is considered one of the greatest Italian sculptors of his generation. Over the past five decades, Mattiacci has used sculpture to question, examine and explore the mysteries of the cosmos and mankind's relationship with the universe. He began his career in the early 1960s when he moved to Rome after completing his studies at the Istituto di Belle Arti in Pesaro and receiving an award from the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome. In Rome he encountered artists from key movements at the time, such as Arte Povera and Minimalism, although he maintained a fiercely independent and unique trajectory, rejecting any label that sought to categorise or position his work within a particular school of thought.
